I was learning to the news on the local college station radio, when they briefly mentioned the discovery of a new ring around Saturn. There was not detail, so I went online and found the following link to a news report:

I was just reading about this, pretty interesting. According to the article the ring is about 2 moons in apparent diameter, so it's about 1 degree of sky. I wonder if it can be imaged by amateur cameras, in the infra-red?
[BBC Today] A colossal new ring has been identified around Saturn.
